That looks really nice. But I still think I'd rather stick to WordPress... I just can't stand writing and maintaining markdown articles and wikis. That's the biggest reason we moved from Mediawiki.
Now, if they had plugins that did WYSIWYG editing, screenshot from clipboard pasting, etc... then I'd be all in.

never heard of turnkey or alpharacks.

Apparently for good reasons.

Yeah me either until a few days ago.
I'm trying out Turnkey now. So far so good... I will be reporting any shortcomings here on ML.

Now this looks like a WIKI that I would actually use. I've been searching for one that has a good way to display code snippets. (like the way code is displayed here on ML) This looks like it does the trick.

I've not used it yet, but I've been looking for something just like this for a while. Hoping to deploy it soon.

What VPS host?
Alpha Racks.
P.S. They are still doing the black friday sale...
Bottom of the page said offer ends 11/25/2017.
They sent out an email yesterday extending it until today.

Fingers crossed. I really want a better internal documentation tool. OneNote and SharePoint are getting too cluttered.

Yeah I wouldn't use this for production or anything, but it is nice to have for any test boxes you may want to build.

I used to like it. But as documentation grows, it quickly becomes cluttered.

Exactly. It's good for a tiny, tiny bit of stuff when everyone is looking at it. But once you get to any size, it is impossible.

Not to derail conversation but how so?
I got an Office365 for my business and figured I'd start using it for client data. I had left Evernote and didn't have many other choices.
I store each client's OneNote file in their directory on OneDrive. In the note I have a tab for general client info, and another tab for jobs, with each job in a page.
I may use other tabs for archiving jobs, todo, etc.Then I have one note for the business, and some others as personal note files.
In your view, what is lacking in their feature set? And given that I have Office365 and the whole suite of tools, what would be a good alternative?

That makes OneNote that much worse. Folders are not how Sharepoint is meant to be used. You CAN do that, it is a fallback mechanism for shops where the managers don't understand how SP works and force it. NTG had this problem and it made SP completely useless to us and was the final nail in the coffin. Bottom line was, SP was too complex for the very people pushing it leaving it... useless.

Simple search, enforced organization, performance, easy of use, direct links to parts of data. Those are the big ones.
It also encourages (but doesn't force) a total mess of data just dumped in rather than being organized. In a one person environment, it should work acceptably. Once you have more than one, I find it useless.

It sounds like you are mistaking it for a CRM tool.
I like using it for a more longer term clipboard... but not much else... Or a place to gather thoughts to get them down quickly without formatting issues.

That's the original idea of it. Works okay for that. But for documentation, it's bad.

What plugins do you use in order to have WordPress look like a Wiki?

@scottalanmiller said in Looking for some neat Server Build Projects:
There recommended OS is Ubuntu 16.04 and Server 2012 R2.

Theme: http://wikiwp.com/
ToC Plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/table-of-contents-plus/
Editor: https://wordpress.org/plugins/tinymce-advanced/
Code boxes: https://wordpress.org/plugins/mivhak/
Tables: https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/
Clipboard image pasting: https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-elevator/
Image pop-out: https://wordpress.org/plugins/responsive-lightbox-lite/
That setup is by far definitely worth at least a test. Everyone who uses it is extremely happy... on both ends, editing/creating and reading.
Super easy to update and maintain, highly supported all over the internet.
